Welcome to 
Tahitian Terrace 
from Kikkoman 


roll, deep fried shrimp and chicken or 
fruit salads. Children's portions are 
available. 

At the Walt Disney World Vaca- 
tion Kingdom, Kikkoman sponsors 
Adventureland Veranda. 

Few people realize that shoyu 
(soy sauce) is undoubtedly man's 
oldest prepared condiment. An early 
ancestor of shoyu was a salty paste of 
fermented grains, which was intro- 
duced along with the meatless diet of 
Buddhism in the sixth century. The 


From the moment you first 
cut into a juicy N.Y. steak 
or tender teriyaki chicken 
as served in the island 
atmosphere of the Tahitian Terrace 
in Adventureland, you'll know you're 
in for a magical dining experience. 
The service, food and Polynesian 
entertainment are really something to 
write home about. 

Beginning June 14, when the 
Disneyland Park begins its summer 
schedule, the Tahitian Terrace will 
begin serving both lunches and 
dinners on a regular basis. During the 


evenings, diners enjoy the Poynesian 
Revue ... a colorful show complete 
with native dancers and drums, and 
flaming swords! 

Tahitian Terrace is sponsored by 
Kikkoman — the company that makes 
the "vintage flavor" soy sauce noted 
for bringing out the natural good- 
ness in foods. Kikkoman soy sauce is 
served at every table and used in most 
of the dishes for which the Terrace 
is known . . . pork ribs, mahi-mahi, 
Polynesian vegetables, Cantonese 
rice, in addition to the steaks and 
chicken. The Terrace also serves egg

Chicken Teriyaki 


1 medium-sized fryer, cut into 
serving sized pieces 
2/3 cup Kikkoman soy sauce 
1/4 cup white wine 

1 clove chopped or minced garlic 

2 tablespoons brown sugar 
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger 


Marinate for 1 hour. Remove from sauce and bake at 325° for 1 hour. 
Baste with marinade 2 or 3 times while cooking. 


14th century saw Japan breaking 
away from China's influence and 
adhering strictly to the vegetarian 
diet, all the while improving the tech- 
nique of the shoyu production. What 
emerged was a finely balanced 
seasoning used for a great variety 
of foods. 

Kikkoman Soy Sauce is a natu- 
rally fermented blend of soybeans, 
wheat, water and salt using tradi- 
tional brewing methods perfected 
centuries ago. Like fine wine, the true 


soy sauce must be age-mellowed. 
During this unhurried fermentation 
period, many flavors and subtle 
aromas develop which serve to 
heighten the important appetite- 
increasing effect of the sauce. 

Kikkoman had its roots in the 
city of Noda, Japan in the 17th cen- 
tury and was incorporated in 1917. 
Now Kikkoman Shoyu Co., Ltd. has 
increased its product line to include 
other sauces, soup bases and 
alcoholic beverages. 

Discriminating chefs who appre- 


ciate the experience and tradition 
that went into the making of Kik- 
koman soy sauce don't restrict its use 
to just meats and gravies. They find 
that it adds a zestful zip to salad 
dressings, soups, dips and vegetable 
toppings. Try it mixed with melted 
butter and brown sugar, brushed on 
grapefruit halves and broiled until 
glazed. A happy note for weight- 
watchers: soy sauce has only12 
calories per tablespoon compared to 
100 or more in a tablespoon of oil 
or butter. V

hen Dick and Julie Pope first 
looked at the site which was to 
become one of the most acclaimed 
gardens in the world, what they saw 
was an eerie, yet fascinating, maze of 
tropical growth along the banks of 
Lake Eloise, most beautiful of some 
100 spring-fed lakes in the rolling 
highlands area of Winter Haven. 
Centuries-old Cypress trees shrouded 
in silken wisps of Spanish moss 
towered majestically above the lake. 
The Popes envisioned a spectacular 
transformation. After four years of 
literally digging the drainage canals 
and planting the flowers by hand, on 
January 2, 1936, a 16-acre tract was 
billed as Florida Cypress Gardens and 
opened its gates to the world. 


The Gardens became a major 
tourist attraction comprising more 
than 220 acres of botanical splendor 
crowned by swaying palms and mir- 
rored in rippling lagoons. More than 
one and half million visitors a year 
came to wander the flower-framed 
walkways and admire the fairy-book 
natural beauty. Years later, Dick 
Pope's love of water skiing gave birth 
to what was to become the most 
famous water ski show in the world 
and earned Cypress Garden the repu- 
tation of the "Water Ski Capital of the 
World" 

After 44 years of operation. 
Cypress Gardens has opened the 
largest expansion in the history of the 
attraction, stretching to include 


4 











* 


another 14 acres to the south of the 
original park. The area includes more 
than 30 new attractions divided into 
two main areas: Southern Crossroads 
and The Living Forest. 

Visitors to Southern Crossroads 
walk the cobblestone streets of an 
antebellum town nestled amidst a 
colorful, floral setting. Housed in a 
colonial-style theater in the heart of 
Southern Crossroads is "Legends of 
the South" a multi-media, historical 
presentation conducted by famous 
and infamous characters from some 
of the South's best-known legends. 
Confederate soldiers and pirates who 
sailed the Florida Keys appear and 
disappear. The secrets of bayou trap- 


pers and Cajun voodoo queens are 
revealed in this mystifying mansion 
of illusion. 

In the Garden Cinema, guests 
view a film presentation on a three- 
story tall curved screen and become 
a part of such thrilling adventures as 
racing an airboat through the Florida 
everglades and riding a speeding boat 
safely through the winding Cypress 
Gardens canals, only to end up air- 
borne over a ski jump ramp. 

Set beneath giant oaks and 
magnolias, Victorian-style bandstands 
set the stage for daily concerts of 
Dixieland jazz as well as character 
shows for children. 

The Living Forest provides a 


natural Florida backdrop for the 
inhabitants of "Critter Encounters," 
an animal contact area for children, 
"Gator Alley;' the lagoon home for 
10-12 foot alligators and crocodiles, 
and "Fly Free!" a 15,000 square-foot 
aviary harboring several hundred rare 
birds. 

The adventures of Southern 
Crossroads and The Living Forest 
combined with the splendor of the 
original gardens create a totally 
"Florida" experience. Columned 
plantation mansions, beautiful belles, 
colorful foliage, plenty of sunshine, 
and down-home Southern hospital ity — 
Cypress Gardens is most certainly 
Florida at its best. V

One of the many highlights of the 
25th Birthday Parade at the Disney- 
land Theme Park is Cinderella riding 
in a magnificent crystal coach pulled 
by six toylike Shetland ponies. The 
daily parade is just part of the year- 
long celebration at the Park, which is 
observing its silver anniversary all 
year long with a calendar full of 
special events. 

Each colorful unit of the parade 
typifies a part of the themed land it 
represents. Mickey Mouse and his 
best buddies, Donald, Pluto and 
Goofy, wave to the crowd from the 
lead unit. From New Orleans Square 


_Don't Cet 

Shis?arade 

pass You By 

come dancers and Dixieland music. 
From the Old West atmosphere of 
Frontierland, comes an authentic 
stagecoach pulled by prancing horses. 


The upbeat sounds of space-age 
music are featured by a musical group 
from Tomorrowland. Other popular 
groups from the Park — the Dapper 
Dans, Royal Street Bachelors and the 
Disneyland Park Band will provide 
live music in the parade. 

The most memorable unit of all is 
the appearance of a six-horse team of 
prize black Percherons pulling the 
shining1907 steam calliope that was 
first seen in the1955 opening of the 
Park. It's the silver and blue icing on 
the cake of an impressive salute to the 
first quarter-century of the Magic 
Kingdom. V 





Sinqinq” fa 
( Hr the Deaf 

No matter where you go in the 
Magic Kingdom, you'll be entertained 
by any of a number of talented 
musical performers adding to the 
multitude of sights and sounds in 
each land. Whether it's capturing the 
feeling of another place or time or 
telling a story through lyrics, dance 
and music, each group communicates 
a message in its own special way. 

The Kids of the Kingdom, a 
collection of energetic youths per- 
forming daily on the Cinderella Castle 
stage, add an extra dimension to their 
“Lady America" medley; the Kids' 
choreography includes sign language 
for the deaf. 

The show was created for the 
Walt Disney World bicentennial 
celebration in 1976 and has continued 
to be popular with Magic Kingdom 
guests ever since. "Lady America" 
follows a patriotic theme and the sign 
language was added to enhance the 
idea of neighborly American's reach- 
ing out to each other. 

During the 20-minute show, the 
Kids perform songs such as "Lady 
America" "Things Are Looking Up;' 

"I Like You" "All Kinds of People" 
"Thank God I'm a Country Boy" and 
"Everything is Beautiful" and "Still 
Be Some Love Left Over" to which 
they add signing. 

The signing fits easily into the 
choreography since the movements 
are fluid and are often symbolic of 
the words they express. Many of the 
signs can be quickly identified by 
even those not familiar with sign 
language. For example, the word 
"love" is expressed by pressing the 
hands over the heart. 

Audience reaction to the show 
has been overwhelming. Many groups 
of deaf visitors have conversed back 
to the Kids, signing "We like you too!" 

The Kids of the Kingdom "Lady 
America" show unites three basic 
forms of communication that surpass 
the spoken word in beauty of expres- 
sion and universality — music, dance 
and sign language. What better 
accompaniment to song which states: 
If you add all the love in the world, 
Take away all the hate and the pain. 
There would still be some love left 
over. V

‘Let s go to the Movies 



Herbie Goes Bananas 





f That incomparable Love 

Bug, "Herbie" certainly gets 
around. His fourth film, 
"Herbie Coes Bananas;' is 
scheduled for release in July, 
and this one will positively establish 
the free-wheeling Volkswagen as an 
international celebrity. 

"Bananas" was filmed in the 
Mexican resort cities of Puerto 
Vallarta and Guadalajara with much 
of the complex stunt production being 
recorded in Tijuana and the Panama 
Canal Zone. Joining Herbie in this 
new comedy are Cloris Leachman, 
Harvey Korman, Charles Martin 
Smith, John Vernon, Elyssa Davalos, 
Stephan Burns and Joaquin Garay. 
Television comedienne and dramatic 
actress Cloris Leachman plays a 
romance-minded divorcee trying in 
vain to capture the heart of a dapper 
cruise ship captain played by Harvey 
Korman. Stephan Burns and Elyssa 
Davalos provide the main love 
interest, having been brought together 
by the Cupid shenanigans of Herbie 
the Love Bug. Teaming up with Herbie 
to thwart the efforts of smugglers in 
South America is 12-year-old Joaquin 
Garay 1 1 1 — a regular in tv's "Cliffwood 
Avenue Gang" 

Herbie's latest adventure takes 
him through the locks of the Panama 
Canal; into a bullring complete with a 
raging bull; into the steaming jungle; 
and finally to a downright dogfight 
on an airplane runway! 

But Herbie is used to dangerous 
stunts and action-packed productions. 
His previous comedies— "The Love 
Bug" (1969), "Herbie Rides Again" 
(1974) and "Herbie Goes to Monte 
Carlo" (1977), have proved to be one 
of the most successful boxoffice 


series in the history of motion pictures. 

From the very beginning, Herbie 
was no ordinary car. Aside from a 
physical resemblance to his assembly 
line counterparts, this 1963 sunroof 
model Volkswagen bug with the red, 
white and blue racing stripes, sporting 
the number "53" on his side, was 
clearly one in a million. In19 77, 

Herbie became the first automobile 
to imprint his tracks for posterity in 


the cement forecourt of the famed 
Grauman's Chinese Theatre. 

"Herbie Goes Bananas" was writ- 
ten by versatile Disney screenwriter 
Don Tait who also acted as associate 
producer. A former child-star, Kevin 
Corcoran, acts as the second associate 
producer. Oscar-winner Danny Lee 
provided the outstanding special 
effects for the film. Vincent McEveety 
directed.

The Last Flight of Noahs Ark ^ 



Part of the movie fare 
offered by Walt Disney 
Productions this summer 
will be "The Last Flight of 
Noah's Ark;' a loaded-with- 
action adventure starring Elliott 
Gould and Genevieve Bujold. The 
story's flight follows a turbulent jour- 
ney of survival for four people in a 
decrepit World War 1 1 B-29 bomber 
loaded with farm animals. 

Genevieve Bujold, winner of 
several international "Best Actress" 
awards, plays a prim evangelist who 
hires Elliott Gould, a pilot who prefers 
living in the fast lane, to fly the vin- 
tage B-29 filled with livestock to a 
South Pacific mission. Unknown to 
them, there are two stowaways 
aboard also— played by popular 
child movie star Ricky Schroder and 
by Tammy Lauren of the "Angie" tv 
series. A compass malfunction forces 
the plane from its course, and they are 
forced to beach it on an uncharted 
tropical island. Unexpected allies 
come to their rescue and they are able 
to convert the huge bomber to a make- 
shift sailboat so that they can sail on 
to civilization. But this is not before 
friendships develop between the chil- 
dren and a dolphin called Dodger, and 
between Gould and Bujold, whose 
early cold relationship soon melts 
into romance. 

Unexpected help in the form of 
two Japanese soldiers comes to the 
planewrecked party. The two men, 
played by Yuki Shimoda and John 
Fujioka, have been stranded on the 
island for 35 years, still unaware that 
World War II has ended. After they've 
been briefed on past history, the pair 
prove to be skillful engineers who 
devise a design which converts the 
B-29 to a somewhat seaworthy craft. 

A patchwork sail is rigged which had 
its origin as a Japanese flag and old 
parachute. The plexiglass nose section 
of the plane provides a fascinating 
underwater panorama of the sea 
beneath them. 

A secluded stretch of beach 
on the island of Kauai in Hawaii was 
utilized as the filming site for much of 
"Noah's" story. At the Disney studio, a 
special effects team reconstructed 
the crash of the B-29 in miniature. 

Many of the underwater scenes were 
completed far from the open sea in 
the friendly confines of the sound 


stage tank where "20,000 Leagues 
Under the Sea" was filmed. 

Procuring the five B-29s needed 
to complete "Noah's Ark" was a chal- 
lenge to the production personnel. 
Four scrapped models were located at 
the Navy China Lake Facilities in the 
Mojave Desert. Two were shipped to 
the studio in Burbank dismantled and 
two to Hawaii where they had to be 
reassembled for various interior sets. 
The fifth plane, which had to fly and 
is one of only two existing models left 
in the world that is airworthy, was 
rented from Ralph Johnston of Oak- 


land. (The other is owned by a group 
calling itself the Confederate Air 
Force ... an organization interested in 
the preservation of vintage planes.) 

With its noted stars and excit- 
ing screenplay written by Steven W. 
Carabatsos, Sandy Glass and George 
Arthur Bloom based on a story by 
Ernest K. Gann, "The Last Flight of 
Noah's Ark" promises to be a favorite 
of those searching for a summertime 
film adventure, both colorful and 
unique. The production was directed 
by Charles Jarrott and produced by 
Ron Miller and Jan Williams.V

It marina, water garden and 165-foot long water cas- 
cade will again dominate the picturesque points of interest 
at the Disneyland Hotel this summer. 

This year's Water Wonderland at the hotel complex 
will repeat last year's exciting evening entertainment of the 
Dancing Waters and Lights Fantastic Show. .. with its new 
8-channel sound system and a sophisticated environmental 
laser beam sculpture, "Still Green" Visitors can stroll 
beneath the cool Horseshoe Falls water cascade which 
descends into reflecting pools emphasized by multi- 
colored lights. The Falls are located in front of the Bonita 
Tower, the newest addition to the hotel. 

A colorful arts and crafts bazaar is housed in the 
Artisans' Market. Food concessions will offer a varied 
selection of delectables for eating out of doors. 

At the marina, where visitors may rent peddle boats, 
there will be organized races for the younger set. Traveling 
parents have voiced their wholehearted approval to the 


evening supervised activities of the Children's Youth Clubs. 

Evening musical entertainment is featured at the 
rooftop lounge, Top of the Park, and at La Cantina. Eating 
establishments include the Shipyard Inn, famous for savory 
seafood specialties; Mazie's Pantry, a sidewalk cafe; and 
the Chef's Kitchen. 

A favorite pastime of the Disneyland Hotel guest is 
shopping in the myriad of shops located right in the hotel 
complex. Disneyland souvenirs are very popular to present 
to the folks back home. Toys, games and candy appeal to 
the small tots. Sportswear, brand name fashions and many 
unique gift items are offered in several boutiques, all within 
steps of each other. Travelers discover that this lively col- 
lection of specialty and gift shops is really a shopping 
adventure and very handy for the various items one inevit- 
ably forgets to pack.

Wonders of Walt Disney World 



" School-age youngsters are 
capable of absorbing a tremendous 
amount of learning. Given the chance, 
they have an amazing aptitude for 
knowledge. I feel a full-time education 
for our youth is our best investment in 
the future ." 

— Walt Disney 


A Kingdom of Learning Opportunities 

The Disney education tradition 
began as early as the 30's and 40's 
when the Studio animators lent their 
talents to educators and doctors in 
the creation of educational films. 

The award-winning True Life Adven- 
ture Film Series brought unprece- 
dented public awareness and concern 
for protection of our natural environ- 
ment. 

The Walt Disney Educational 
Media Company is known internation- 
ally for its fine selection of educa- 
tional films, recordings, and activities. 

Disneyland has hosted such 
programs as "Fun with Music" and the 
"Bicentennial Celebration" Every day 
in the Walt Disney World Magic 
Kingdom, history lessons are taught 
to thousands in the Hall of Presidents. 

The "Wonders of Walt Disney 
World" is another step forward in 
education. And with EPCOT Center 
on the way, with all its emphasis on 
education and communication, the 
"Wonders of Walt Disney World" is 
another commitment to the notion 
that learning can be fun. 


What is the " Wonders of Walt Disney 
World"? 

The "Wonders of Walt Disney 
World" is an educational program 
that makes the physical and human 
resources of the Walt Disney World 
"living laboratory" available for valid 
off-campus learning during the school 
year for students in the fifth to tenth 
grades. "Wonders of Walt Disney 
World" focuses in four areas, offering 
students a choice of courses which 
includes "The Energy That Runs Our 
World" "Walt Disney World of Enter- 
tainment" "Disney Creative Arts" 
and "The Wonders and Beauty of Our 
World." 

Unlike many field trips, the 
"Wonders of Walt Disney World" 
integrates learning activities before 
and after the student's trip to the 
Vacation Kingdom. These pre-and 
post-trip activities are designed to 
add educational value to the program 
and permit parents, teachers, and 
fellow classmates to become 
involved. 


How does it work ? 

Let's say a family has decided to 
come to the Walt Disney World resort 
complex and wants to enroll their 
child in one of the four "Wonders of 
Walt Disney World" courses. They 
write in and make a reservation for 
the desired class on a desired day. 
Several weeks before their trip, a pre- 
trip book of information and activities 
is sent to the student. This book is 
designed to challenge the student to 
observe, compare, research, think, 
and form tentative conclusions about 
the course area. More importantly, 
these exercises encourage students to 
begin and continue their learning at 
home — investigating and appreci- 
ating the information and ideas that 
are already part of their world. 

Once the students arrive at Walt 
Disney World, their program begins 
with a brief classroom session to 
orient them to the learning activities, 
objectives, and opportunities ahead. 

They then leave the classroom 
for a firsthand look at the resources 



of Walt Disney World. Each student is 
given complimentary use of a Polaroid 
One Step® camera throughout the trip 
to record observations that will 
become a part of the students' reports 
back home to classmates and friends. 

Students enrolled in "The Energy 
That Runs Our World" take an exciting 
look at how Walt Disney World uses, 
produces, and distributes energy in 
ways that offer solutions to the 
energy challenges ahead. Students 
see and learn about transportation 
systems, visit the GE Carousel of 
Progress to see the relationship be- 
tween our standard of living and the 
use of energy in the home, and tour 
the Walt Disney World Central Energy 
Plant where they analyze such inno- 
vations as a computerized energy 
distribution system and prototype 
solar energy plant. 

"The Disney Creative Arts" offers 
a look at the Magic Kingdom as a 
living, three-dimensional canvas 
where students discover the art 
that's all around them. They learn 
how the use of shape, color and tex- 
ture come together. They learn about 
the careful planning that goes into the 
communication of ideas, moods, and 
feelings in all art forms — sculptures. 


mosaics, landscapes. The group 
members also demonstrate their 
grasp of the basics by creating their 
own portraits of Disney characters, 
under the direction of a Disney artist. 

"The Walt Disney World of 
Entertainment" explores the three 
"roles" of entertainment — onstage 
performers, backstage performers, 
and the audience. Professional per- 
formers meet with the students to 
discuss and demonstrate the im- 
portance of lighting, sets, music, pac- 
ing, timing, and practice in putting on 
a successful show. 

In "The Wonder and Beauty of 
Our World" students begin by viewing 
a Disney educational film that pre- 
views Florida's unique ecosystems 
and then take off on a tour of Dis- 
covery Island, an 11-acre sanctuary 
for over 60 rare species of birds and 
animals and the Disney conservation 
area, which includes 7,500 acres of 
protected wilderness, cypress swamps 
and marshland. Using binoculars, 
students observe, indentify and record 
in their nature logs an extraordinary 
range of plant and animal life. 

At the end of the session, students 
return to the classroom for a wrap-up, 
relating what they have seen to their

own world and to the future. The 
entire classroom and field trip session 
lasts four to five hours. 

The learning does not stop at 
Walt Disney World, however. Students 
take home their creations or samples, 
photographs, a post-trip activity book 
and a new sense of awareness and 
appreciation for the Wonders around 
them. 

Like any new Disney project, the 
"Wonders of Walt Disney World" has 
undergone extensive planning and 
development— initial planning began 
more than two years ago. To be sure 
the "Wonders of Walt Disney World" 
would be a Disney-quality program 
that met the criteria of the educa- 
tional community for valid off-campus 
learning, Walt Disney World Co. 
worked very closely with the Georgia 
Department of Education in defining 
the objectives and goals. 

Field tests were conducted in the 
spring of 1979 with students from 
Henry County, Georgia, and Orange 
County, Florida. On the basis of the 
results, the "Wonders of Walt Disney 
World" has received the cooperation 
of the state superintendents of 
Georgia, Florida, and New Jersey. 

This spring, the first students 
from these three states participated 
in the "Wonders of Walt Disney 
World" pilot programs. 

Current plans call for the pro- 
gram to be offered to selected states 
in the fall, and then regionally and 
nationally in the ensuing years. By the 
time EPCOT Center opens, a whole 
new "Wonders of Walt Disney World" 
program will be underway, incor- 
porating the tremendous resources 
of the pavilions in Future World and 
the World Showcase.

On September 30, 1787 an 
armed merchant vessel com- 
missioned Columbia sailed 
from Boston Harbor to be- 
come the first ship to carry 
the American flag in oceans around 
the world. According to her log, she 
sailed to the Pacific Northwest and 
on to the Orient where she traded furs 
for chinaware, tea, spices and silks. 
When she returned to her home port 
in August of 1790, she had been at sea 
for 34 months and had logged a dis- 
tance of 41,899 miles. 

During the last months of 
1790, the Columbia began her second 
expedition, again under the command 
of Captain Robert Gray. During this 
voyage, Gray discovered the river 
which today bears the name of the 
historical vessel. Several more expe- 
ditions were made by the Columbia 
during her proud lifetime. It is 
believed she finally disappeared 
without a trace somewhere in the 
Orient; although one legend has it 
that she was taken by a crew member 
and used as a privateer, while still 
another claims she was wrecked 
off the rocky shores of Nantucket. 

The historical significance of the 
original Columbia was in its establish- 
ment of international trade routes 
and good relations with the West 
Coast Indian tribes. Its magnificent 
counterpart, located in the Disney- 
land Magic Kingdom, establishes a 
living history of the ship that helped 
create a Pacific Coast empire for the 
United States. 

The fully-rigged, three-masted 
replica is berthed at Fowler's Harbor 
across from Tom Sawyer's Island in 
the Theme Park during the winter 
season. She was dedicated there on 
June14, 1958. Research in the Library 
of Congress and a single steel engrav- 
ing from the book, "Voyages of the 
Columbia" provided the background 
for the design of the vessel. Her hull 


was constructed at Todd Shipyards 
and then completed at the Park by 
workmen using similar tools to those 
used on the original ship. 

"Below Decks" on the Columbia 
was opened February 22, 1964. It is 
an authentic replica of living con- 
ditions on the Berth Deck of the 
original ship. ..a veritable maritime 
museum. Visitors see the mess table 
surrounded by officers' cabins. The 
Captain's Great Cabin astern is fur- 
nished with a dining table, two bunks, 
chart table, and navigational equip- 
ment. Along the port side is an exhibit 
of tackle, blocks, sail and rope-making 
gear. There is a forge for tool making 
and an open-hearth galley on the 
opposite side for the cook. In the 
foc'sle are eight (not too roomy) 


bunks which were for the able and 
sometimes not too able seamen. 

Topside, the sturdy Douglas fir 
planking of the Columbia stretches 
for an overall deck length of over 83 
feet. Her mainmast reaches 84 feet 
above the weather deck. 

Carrying passengers along the 
Rivers of America during the sum- 
mer, the gallant Columbia joins a 
Disneyland fleet that includes the 
sternwheeler Mark Twain, keelboats, 
Tom Sawyer Island rafts and Indian 
war canoes. But although she is 
confined to the waters of a river, the 
Columbia has the proud bearing of 
her counterpart that once knew the 
freedom of much vaster expanses . . . 
when she was truly an original "gem" 
of the ocean. V 




‘‘Like a true ship, committed to her 
element once for all at her 
Launching, she perished at seal’

Three outstanding motion pic- 
tures will dominate the Summer film

First to hit the nation's theatre

American family who encounter 
bizarre happenings while living in the 
English countryside. Bette Davis, 
Carroll Baker, David McCallum, 
Lynn-Holly Johnson, Ian Bannen, Kyle 
Richards and rising young British

Scheduled for July release is 
"THE LAST FLIGHT OF NOAH'S ARK;'

Pacific island. Ricky Schroder, 

Vincent Gardenia and Tammy Lauren

partly on location in Hawaii. Charles

south of the border. Cloris Leachman, 
Harvey Korman, Charles Martin Smith, 
Elyssa Davalos, Joaquin Garay, 
Richard Jaeckel, Alex Rocco, Fritz

Proclamation Honors Disney 
Contributions 

On the occasion of Disneyland's 
25th Anniversary, the late Walt Disney 
was honored by a proclamation 
passed by the U.S. House of Repre- 
sentatives and Senate. Speaker of the 
House Tip O'Neil made the presenta- 
tion to Donn Tatum, Chairman of the 
Board of Walt Disney Productions, 
February 19, in the Speaker's Circle 
Chamber. 

Text of the President's message 
follows: 

"In the world of entertainment 
no name is more widely known than 
that of Walt Disney. For nearly 
fifty years, his creations brought us 
laughter and love, joy and gladness. 
The products of his imagination will 
enthrall and delight many more 
generations of children of all ages in 
every country on earth. 

"The House of Representatives, 
by a joint resolution of February13, 
1980, has requested the President 
to issue a proclamation honoring 
the memory of Walt Disney for his 
contribution to the American dream. 

"NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY 
CARTER, President of the United 
States of America, do hereby call 
upon the people of this Nation to 
recall the accomplishments of Walt 
Disney and to honor his memory on 
February 19, 1980. 

"IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have 
hereunto set my hand this Nineteenth 
day of February, in the year of our 
Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, 
and of the Independence of the 
United States of America the two 
hundred and fourth" jimmy Carter 

That evening at Constitution Hall, 
the Kids of the Kingdom performed 
the 25th Anniversary Show, "Disney- 
land is Your Land" and Donn received 
the proclamation again. 

In separate ceremonies held in 
New York at the Avery Fischer Hall in 
Lincoln Center, Dick Nunis, Executive 
Vice President of Disneyland, Walt 
Disney World and Outdoor Recrea- 
tion, received an honorary citation 
presented to Disneyland from UNICEF 
for Distinguished Conduct and 
Fidelity in the Performance of Out- 
standing Service to the World's Chil- 
dren. Ambassador McHenry, U.S. 
Ambassador to the United Nations, 
and actress Celeste Holm made the 
presentation Monday, February 25 
before an audience comprised of 
delegates to the U N. and their 
families.
